[Bug 601299] Re: maverick btrfs slow install

2010-08-09 Thread Conn O Griofa
James, In comment #6 you mentioned that you experience no btrfs slowdowns in a virtualized environment. That's probably because btrfs is running on an underlying filesystem, with a separate caching mechanism by the physical hard disk and host OS's handling of your disk. The net effect seems to

I can confirm the same issue; installation via the alpha 2 32bit alternate media takes ~2 hours when installing to a btrfs partition, compared to ~15 minutes to ext4. I'm not sure that system specs are necessary, because I don't think this is a bug (or if it is, it should be addressed upstream).

Petar, You clearly implied that I was misinterpreting my results in the first sentence of comment #37. In comment #59, I acknowledged that your system appears not to have the same memory leak issue; as I said, your allocation increases /and/ decreases, unlike my own. I asked for evidence simply

Peter Velkovski, Thanks for the suggestion, but on my system - even if I close all applications on the running X server - the GEM object bytes value *never* decreases. Freeing the pagecache, dentries and inodes (as you suggest) makes no difference at any point. The only way to reduce the
